It spans the boundary between the Añasco Arriba barrio in the municipality of Añasco and the Sabanetas barrio in the municipality of Mayagüez. The bridge bears a striking similarity to the Puente de Trujillo Alto, another Pennsylvania through truss bridge built during 1939–1941 in the Trujillo Alto municipality of Puerto Rico.
